For individuals with diabetes, maintaining healthy blood sugar levels is vital to prevent complications. During summer, fresh fruits can be included in their diet, but moderation and mindful choices are essential. Dr. Rajeev Chowdry, Director of Internal Medicine at Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital, emphasizes the importance of the Glycemic Index (GI) in selecting fruits. Low GI fruits such as apples, guava, and berries can be consumed safely, as they release sugar slowly into the bloodstream. In contrast, fruits like mangoes, watermelon, and pineapple should be eaten with caution due to their higher sugar content. To manage blood sugar levels effectively, diabetics are advised to combine fruits with proteins or healthy fats, spread fruit intake throughout the day, and avoid consuming fruits on an empty stomach. Staying hydrated and monitoring blood glucose levels after trying new fruits are also recommended practices. Always consult a healthcare provider for tailored dietary advice.
